The technologically challenged ex-governor joined Twitter earlier this month, but most of his 140-character messages seem to be written by his publicist. Blagojevich didn't even know how to send a text message or open a Word file on the "Celebrity Apprentice" when it was filmed last year.

The ex-governor will be allowed to continue speaking with the media and appearing on radio programs during the trial -- at his own peril.

Zagel told Blagojevich his sound bites, quips and "repeated public statements" to the cameras could be used against him if he testifies during the trial.
